Alasdair Gold has admitted that he is a big fan of Roberto De Zerbi and that he loves watching Brighton play under the Italian.
Until last week, it was thought that De Zerbi was one of the leading candidates to replace Antonio Conte at the helm, with The Daily Express reporting that Tottenham had not given up on their pursuit of the Brighton boss despite his inclination to stay at the Amex Stadium.
However, things might have changed after the way the Seagulls boss behaved during his side’s clash against Spurs on Saturday, with both him and Cristian Stellini receiving red cards after the two benches clashed in the second half.

The Telegraph claimed a couple of days ago De Zerbi might have ruled himself out of the running for the Spurs job with his behaviour as there were already concerns among the Tottenham hierarchy about the Italian’s temperament.
Gold has now referred to the Brighton boss as an ‘intense character’ and suggested that Levy might have reservations about hiring another temperamental Italian.
The journalist said on his YouTube Channel about De Zerbi: “He’s an intense character.
“I do wonder, you know… Obviously, I was a big fan of him as a potential Spurs candidate and still am because of the football. The football is incredible it’s beautiful to watch.
“But yeah, you do start to wonder whether after the Conte era and the kind of firecracker of a manager he was, the incendiary type he could be, would you want to bring in another person who looks like he’s going to be very similar?”
Spurs Web Opinion
I do not think De Zerbi’s behaviour would have as much of an impact on his candidacy for the Spurs job as some seem to suggest.
Unlike, Mourinho and Conte, the 43-year-old does not have a history of bad-mouthing his own players publicly, and I do not think the Spurs hierarchy would mind as long as his anger is directed towards the opposition.
